To increase the transparency of university funds, the Office of the President should make available annually financial information regarding its funds, including beginning and ending balances; revenues, expenses, and transfers; and the impact of these transactions on the balances from year to year.

California State Auditor's Assessment of Annual Follow-Up Status: Fully Implemented

The financial data shown on the last page of the report at the link the university mentions in its response includes beginning and ending fund balances, revenues, expenditures, and net transfers for fiscal year 2012-13. Because FY 2012-13 is the first year for which the university presents this information, the impact of transactions on the balances from year to year can be determined when the university makes similar financial information available for future years.
